Any ideas to save on maternity clothes?
I looked on ebay and craigslist, people want $100 for 15 pieces of clothing that looks ugly. Plus, what if I buy them online and they are too small or don't fit right?
I don't want to spend a lot of money on maternity clothes, I want just a few pair of jeans and t-shirts. Should I just ask for gift cards to maternity stores for Christmas?
I have plenty of money, but I never like to spend a lot of money on clothes, especially when I won't wear them very long.
How much maternity clothes did you buy? Like how many pants, t-shirts, etc.
Any ideas?
With my first pregnancy, I had minimal amounts of maternity clothes (due to budgetary reasons and back in 2000 maternity and fashion didn't really belong in the same sentence... why clothing designers thought pregnant women wanted to look like they bought all their clothes at Georgia Tent and Awning, I'll never know, but I digress).
Second time I added more pieces, but they had style. Best deals came from Old Navy. I got several items online and at clearance prices. Shipping is $5 and returns are free.
If you choose carefully, many tiems can last throughout your pregnancy. Other items are more suited to earlier or later in your pregnancy.
I suggest pants with a wide band of elastic all the way around the top, as opposed to a front panel. These are better suited for wearing earlier in your pregnancy. They can be a bit frustrating if you get very big (they can slip down), but they will work. I work in an office and had a pair of blue jeans, a pair of black pants, a pair of gray pants, and some capris and shorts.
I had a few skirts, and several tops; though mostly in basic styles and colors. Everything tended to work with everything else.
The best "clothing" item I bought? Really comfortable shoes. I spent $98 on Born sandals (which next to my wedding gown made them the most expensive thing I've ever worn). I spend a lot of time on my feet and it was worth it. So worth it.
And I agree with you, I hated to spend a lot of money on clothes I could only wear for a few months. But I also took this as an opportunity to change my style a bit. I bought bolder patterns and cuts for some pieces (including a zebra-striped swing coat that I wish I could still wear... $13.00 from Old Navy). I felt that many of my maternity items were actually sexier than my regular clothes.
Clearance all the way! And try to get some variety, you will get sick to death of wearing the same few things every day.
